One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone ...

In cells, protein-coding genes are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules when they are active, and mRNA can be translated into proteins. While protein start out as strings of amino acids, ...

T his past year, we explored a lot of new cell biology research—from cancer to plants to microbes, and more! It’s hard to ...

A molecular biologist may have found a new 'rule of biology.' The rule challenges long-held notions that most living organisms prefer stability over instability because stability requires less energy ...

As our evolution slows and industrialization and technology accelerates, a growing body of research suggests that human biology is struggling to keep pace. Many of the chronic stress-related health ...

A new platform combines rational protein design with continuous evolution to discover functional molecules more efficiently. In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or ...
